330ml bottle along with the IKEA Ol Ljus lager bought during a weekly sale at local IKEA store.Clear dark reddish brown colour; Minimal head and off-white foam which disappears in less than 20 seconds; No lacing and okay carbonation; strong smell of dark malt and cheap soy sauce; Light body and very watery palate, with taste of coffee sludge, faint malt and straw. Light but evident hop bitterness with lingers with dry after taste.

Comments: After the terrible experience I had with IKEA’s Ol Ljus lager, the expectation with this one has to be lowered. Turns out it was just as bad but in an entirely different manner. Its smell is a poor-man Mackeson XXX gone rotten, and if you can get pass that, its artificial and bad coffee taste will post a challenge to many beer tasters. Adding the non-head and watery body, this combination just doesn’t add up. Stay away.

Ahorn strop, cherries and lots of malt aroma. Dark Brown, red colour and a white small head. Ahorn flavour without a good bitter in the beginning. A bit watery though. But for an Ikea beer... Well lets say its not bad!

Not sure who got me this but its been sat neglected in my fridge for quite some time. Consumed at home, Merton, Oxon, Wednesday 14th January 2015 during Merton Beer Festival mtg Pours dark brown with light beige head. Some chewy caramel, bittersweet beer, little bit of stock cube, fruity tang. Its not great but I drank it, its just about ok. A5 A4 T5 P2 Ov9 2.5
